Horimiya

Horimiya is a charming and wholesome romance manga that was originally written and drawn by Hiroki Adachi (Hero) before being adapted and redrawn by Daisuke Hagiwara. Horimiya is also the subject of a hugely popular romance anime adaptation, which has proven to be a truly outstanding adaptation of the original manga source material.

The Horimiya manga follows the blossoming romance of high school students Kyoko Hori and Izumi Miyamura. She is a well-liked honor student with a secret home life full of responsibility and raising her adorable little brother. He's an introverted, almost imperceptible, middle-of-the-road student with a secret private life as a tattooed and pierced himbo. Horimiya is one of the most well-known romance manga series ever created. The fact that its two protagonists are so well developed has contributed to its phenomenal success.

Their personal dramas, issues, dreams, and daily lives are fleshed out and given full attention. Add romance to the mix, and you've got two characters who not only care about each other but whose romance is a joy to watch unfold. In contrast to the majority of romance manga, their romance moves forward at a refreshingly quick and smooth pace. Horimiya is a comedy-romance manga, but the comedy serves to keep the story light rather than make the reader laugh out loud. Come for the romance, but stay for the laughs.
